Get Involved at Edison!

There's a LOT happening at Edison, and many ways for students, parents and community members to get involved! Read all about it in the Toucan Times, where you'll find up-to-date contact information for many student activities and volunteer opportunities.

If you have a regular schedule, consider volunteering for a weekly or monthly task in or after school. Or, look at our calendar – you can pick out an event that occurs when you have free time. There are even ways to volunteer without leaving home. Passionate about nature? sports? reading? art? head lice? There's sure to be an activity you'll enjoy or a cause you can support. Volunteering and fundraising are great ways to get to know our school, our terrific staff, and other students and families in the Edison community.
